Plan my Hong Kong tripChinese New Year, Easter, Christmas, and Golden Week (October 1-7) are the busiest periods with highest hotel prices. Summer is busy with mainland Chinese tourists despite the heat.
March to May (muggy, pre-summer) and September (typhoon tail) offer lower prices. True budget months are rare in Hong Kong due to consistent business travel demand.
October through December provides the best conditions for hiking Dragon's Back, exploring outlying islands, and enjoying the harbour with clear visibility.
